MECHANICAL MOISTURE-WIPER FOR SHOW-WINDOWS- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 7, 1906.

Application filed February 1, 1906- Serial No. 299,062.

To all] whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS Remains, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Eeknew and useful Improvements in Mechanical Moisture-(Vipers for Show-Windows of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to mechanical moisture-wipers for show-windows, fastened to the window-frame and being moved up and down by pulling a string or chain to clean the window-pane on its whole width from mois-' ture in a short time. v

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l'is a perpendicular section; Fig. 2, a front view, and Fig. 3 a horizontal section.

A strip of felt or other suitable material nearly extending over the whole width of the window is clamped into a frame or plate a.

This frame is fastened to levers b, pivoted to carriages e. Arms 0 project from the clamp rearward ly and serve to tilt the clamp around the pivot-pins (1. These pins are fastened in the carriages e, which are guided on perpendicular guide-bars f of a suitable shape. The carriages e are connected with strings or chains g, which lead over rolls in the wellknown manner, so that the clamp can be moved like Venetian blinds or shades. Near the upper and the lower ends of the gi1ide-bars stop-pins h are secured in the path of the arms c. In Fig. 1 the wiper is shown in two positions, the upper showing the wiper in engagement with the pane is and the lower tilted off for the purpose of getting dry and of being lowered again.

have invented certain If the wi er is pulled up into the upper position, the git enga es the pane and will take off the moisture. If the wiper reaches the upper end of the guide-bars, it is tilted back- Ward by the arms a striking against the upper stop h. The tilting over of the clamp into the inoperative position is limited b a long strip "5,, forming a cross-connection etween the carriages. During'its downward motion the wiper does not touch the anew It can dry until the arms 0 strike the ower stops h. By this action the wiperfis tilted forward into engagement with the pane, and during the next upward travel it will clean the glass as described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- In a moisture-wiper for window-panes in combination a clamp for clamping a strip of felt extendingover the whole widthpf the pane, suitably-guided carriages, to support said clamp which is pivotally connected thereto, guides secured to the window-stiles, rollers on the carriages adapted to run on said guides, means for moving the carriages with the clamp up and down along the windowane, arms a rojecting rearwardly from the 0 amp, stops in the path of said arms, one at the top and one below, adapted to tilt the felt clam awa from the pane Wm reaches the upper position and to throw it back against the pane at the bottom position, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix m signature.
